*takes a deep breath*

Okay: where to begin? Fantastic storytelling, excellent characterization (but I already told you that over at SYCOPHANT HEX), a plot with twists and turns that leave your head spinning anfd makes you laugh out loud more than once, a flawless style... shall I continue?Plus that you make me a real George Weasley-fan here. I've never seen him as a humorous knight in shiny armour before, reckless, clever and dangerously charming. BRAVO! Plus that the dialogues between him and Maud are briliantly funny (at times), as are those between Maud and Snape. Ah... someone who's able to write a Severus who's able to laugh! And now I'll go and check out the rest. Thank you for being able to tell a story as it should be told!

Another lovely story.

hm "Potter shows a dangerous tendency to behave as though he is invincible, invulnerable, and somehow above the rules that bind lesser mortals. And that kind of foolishness I will not tolerate."

A very succinct and believable explanation for Severus' dislike of Harry. However whenever any one uses this argument I feel like beating Severus over the head because he has made a very big mistake in his assumptions--Harry does not believe he is invulnerable or invincible, he does however often regard the risks as worth the possible pain and often regards his own life and or health and safety as lesser in comparison to other concerns.

Interesting... I'm very much enjoying this tale/trilogy; thank you! It does seem though, that in this particular installment you've appropriated a random object (Jobberknoll feather, whether real or within Snape's head) with which you can lay out your conception of Snape's character... An interesting device, but one I shy away from -- it's a bit too... self-serving, I suppose. I don't like it. It's showing off the thought you put into your Snape's motivations, and the thought is a great thing (and his motivations I definitely enjoy reading about) but it seems better suited to an essay than to a fic... The call in to Harry Potter, for example, however wonderful your analysis of Snape's feelings, is rather random and seems to be included more for your own benefit than for the benefit of the story. Though I suppose I'll see where that goes and whether that's true or not.

i really like your story, V good job. hebrew leter daleD not daleTH (i was born to hebrew-speaking family and speak it myself) but apart from that fantastic

Hi there RJ! I've been planning to do this for a long time...so at last I got myself to write a review. :) What can I say? I've read loads of fanfiction, but your D&L trilogy remains the best I've ever read and my most favourite. It brightens my mood whenever I read it, touches something in the heart, you know. So I'd like to THANK YOU very much for writing this great piece. I'm afraid I've got no criticism to offer. ;)

Enjoying my re-reading very much - and I love how you've intertwined your story into canon OotP. Terrific job! As always, your Snape is very believable and hasn't lost his edge (I love the love-potion brewing scene) - and yet I disagree with Maud about Snape being "not in the least lovable." Our Severus is CERTAINLY lovable!

Oh RJ, I loved your DL trilogy, you didn't need to change it to keep it up with canon.

You are royally freaking me out about now. Wow! This is bloody amazing! I'm loving the fic and Maud is irresistible. The bond between Severus and the girl appears very suddenly and yet very realistically (well, as realistically as it can considering Maud was seeing through an owl's eyes previously). This story has catapulted its way onto my favorites list. Great work! I'm off to read Part I.

I love George almost as much as I love Snape. Maybe more. I don't know really.. Must ponder this..

I still love this story. You're one of the most talented writers I've ever had the pleasure to read. *wishes she were Maud..* Snape's so sexy... *ahem* Anywaayy.. You've done a really good job of implementing the changes to make this agree with Order of the Pheonix. Throwing Umbridge in there. Yep. But I think this story would have been just fine AU. Why oh why canonize it? I really hated the fifth book. Don't really know why. Whatever.
I love your characterization, I love your plot. You need to keep writing.
